“I like you. I'm not just playing around…”

After transferring schools in her senior year of high school, Xu Nanxi sees him again.
Ten years have passed, and he's like a different person: upright, sunny, and handsome.
He's a man on a pedestal, a soldier too.
Lean in uniform, muscular out of it. Who wouldn't be smitten?
Xu Nanxi is bold. When it comes to love at first sight, she's determined to keep pursuing him until she wins him over.
On the night they seal their relationship, Xu Nanxi imitates what she's seen on TV and pushes him down.
“They say it's like crossing a mountain for a man to pursue a woman, but only a veil for a woman to pursue a man. The proof is in the pudding, and I want to know if it's true.”

She adds, “I really do like you. Could you be selfish for once and give me all of your heart? I'll take responsibility for you.”
Gu Mingyan really does give her his whole heart.
At twenty-eight, he gives his heart to an eighteen-year-old. From that moment on, she is all he carries in his heart.

She can't face him again, but she is in so much pain.
She has no idea how deeply he loves her.
“I don't mind. I really don't. As long as it's you, anything is fine…”
